Hey guys, as almost all of you know, I am a die-hard Sox fan, and 2005 was a magical season. It was the first year I was interested in baseball, and I was only 6 when they won the World Series. It is something I'll never forget. I remember watching the World Series with my family, but I had to go to sleep during the later part of the game because it was past my bedtime. I remember waking up the next morning being so happy to see that they had won. It was an amazing time of baseball for me. I want to almost "relive" those moments by getting an autograph AND a blue refractor of everyone that played on the team that year. Whether they only played one game or all 162, I want them. Here's my progress so far. I know it's not much so far, but I hope to continually add pieces to this. This is a really meaningful project. Thanks for looking.

List of players/coaches. Bolded are the are the autographs I have. If the name is in blue, I have a blue refractor of them. If the name is both bold and blue, I have an autograph and a blue refractor of them.

Pedro Lopez, Brandon McCarthy, Scott Podsednik (I'd like to upgrade to a certified autograph in a Sox uniform if possible), Aaron Rowand, Shingo Takatsu, Ozzie Guillen (I'd like to upgrade to a certified autograph if possible)

Tadahito Iguchi, Mark Buehrle, A.J. Pierzynski (I'd like to upgrade to a certified autograph in a Sox uniform if possible), Joe Crede

Harold Baines (Bench Coach), Tim Raines (First Base Coach), Willie Harris, Freddy Garcia (I'd like to upgrade to a certified autograph in a Sox uniform if possible), and Juan Uribe (I'd like to upgrade to a certified autograph in a Sox uniform if possible)

Sweet idea! Love the story behind it. I remember that World Series well, although I was only 6 at the time as well

Jermaine Dye FTW

and wow, I clearly remember that walk-off bomb from Scotty Pods.

and while I reminisce about my 6 year old days, I, for some reason, liked Crede

Always looking for an awesome card, regardless of team. I reserve the right to retract my offer on a card if there is no response.

I remember going down to the park for game one, just to soak up the vibe

And I'll always remember when we won it, getting off work ten minutes later and getting down to park as quick as I could, they clinched on the road and it was like 40 degrees and raining, but tons of folks made the treck and it was such a beautiful amazing night, screaming and running around Bridgeport. Ahhh such good times, what a year

Thank you. Now that I think about it, I turned 7 the day after they won it all. I have this in my room, and October 27 is my birthday.

Haha. That sounds like a ton of fun. I remember my parents and were screaming when Konerko hit that grand slam.

Very cool. There are a ton of obscure guys on the 2005 team so I'll have to be lenient on what I buy.

Can't believe you and Canadian GS are 15ish

That's not a bad thing. I'm glad they put it away early.

OP - great start so far

Thank you. That project sounds like fun.

You seem like a nice dude. I met ozzie once (total d**k) and i really dont like him that much but i had him sign a white sox card. Are u looking for only certified autos for this project? It is an ip but a noce bold auto. Would like to donate it towards this nice collection
